Hi I'm building a server that is going to go into a data centre and I want to some kind of virtual machine software, probably either VirtualBox or Xen, and in that I'd like to run BT4. What is my best option to get a full BT4 X session back to my linux desktop?
To try to explain it another way, if I start VirtualBox on my local PC I get a full screen window with KDE in it, I want that but with VirtualBox running on the server. I know that I can do X forwarding through ssh but is there a better way? A friend suggested Xnest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xnest or something that he thought was called xbsetg (can't find google reference) that would let my start my main X session on virtual terminal 7 then have 8 start a gdm session to the remote machine. Last resort is something like VNC but I don't know how I would start the remote graphical X session without a monitor I think Xnest seems like the best option but wondered if anyone else did this and what they used.
